You already know story matters.

However, a few subtle hang-ups may still be holding you back.

In this episode, I reframe four common storytelling mistakes so you can get comfortable, get practicing, and get your stories working for you.

• Practice over theory: Storytelling is a verb. Shift the ratio from “one more book/framework” to actual reps.

• You don’t have one story: You have many. Build a Story Bank and match moments to context and audience.

• Personal ≠ private: Tell human, lived stories (with appropriate vulnerability) without oversharing.

• Process > product: Storytelling changes the storyteller too. Transformation happens while you craft and share, not only when you deliver.

If after listening to this episode you feel ready to get restoried or prep a stage-ready story, then I want to hear from you!
